VPS

"Best VPS out there. To be completely honest, there’s no other service like it at this cost. So much space to get what I need done, very easy to use system panel and they always reply to my questions and concerns. Thank you for existing!"

Dedicated Servers

"Our agency has been running a Dedicated Server from Contabo for years. We had tried several service providers before Contabo. None of them even come close. The support is excellent, the expertise, the infrastructure. We can recommend Contabo."
Raffael, Germany
"With the Contabo Linux Cluster we have achieved a 99.99% availability in our SaaS last year, and thanks to the excellent service of Contabo, we can expand the capacity of the cluster in just a few hours, according to the growth of our business. " Jorge Antonio Quirós Ramírez ,

"If there is a host I recommend, then Contabo is it. At first I was thinking if I should go for Contabo or not due to the amount of people saying it was a scam or that stuff like bandwidth and etc were not really unlimited or at X speed, but I risked and I can say that all the specs they advertise are true." Pedro Miguel Ramos ,

"I did recently switch to the Contabo servers from DigitalOcean. Firstly I was skeptical because it was super-cheap in comparison to what I had to pay on DigitalOcean. Now I know that the decision was correct, as the increased capabilities also helped with page response times, and other SEO factors. I definitively recommend it as an ideal solution for anyone who needs a single reliable resource handling dozens of applications." Karel Boháč , 
Moldova, Republic ofMoldova, Republic of
"I have been using Contabo services for a long time. Since there is no other provider that offers such high quality service, my choice has always been contabo.com. Thanks to their professional support with both hardware quality and really good uptime, Contabo was our only option. Thank you contabo.com" Mustafa Demirali, CEO, Iligihost ,
